I hope you all noticed the quality difference in this video... I am using a new lens and mic and I am in LOVE! On another note...comment below if you do something similar in your position or something different

Hello Mam

[@NegroRotary]

so I should come proficient with virtualization, like the VMware software?

[@monziibrownize]

ohhh nice! what camera and lens do you use now?

[@therundownwisaaclee]

I'm currently studying for CCNA and was curious what preconceived notions you had prior to becoming a Network Enginner vs the reality of your actual day to day?

[@promiseemeka9587]

Can I be a network engineer with studying computer networking

[@Jupiterxice]

Funny thing I am cyber geek most the positions require absurd quals but I find out most of these jobs dont even need a Bachelors or cert most this can be taught in 3 months and just security training and audits/creating strong security program. But the pay be awesome though....lol

[@smoothwiththegroove1]

Currently studying a free course but would love hands on im better at learning hands on slower at the studying and such

[@procedure7]

And don’t forget the security clearance

[@nitinsahire]

I started as network tech in data Center and now working as network development engineer 😀

[@samjones4327]

Thanks for another great video! The quality is super dope! Your videos never suffered from bad quality but this one is super clear.I work TIER 3 help desk for an ISP but I’m looking to move into an engineering/NOC role soon after I get my CCNA. As always I enjoy your videos and keep em coming! Be blessed🙌🏽🙏🏽🎉

Good video... Quality was On-Point too. Keep up the Good work. Looking forward to the next.

[@certifiedcurls]

Thank you so much!

[@NikkoJ]

One thing I would advise, and yes I know it's a bit more work but adding in notes of the different aspects of your day or whatever things you're mentioning in your bio. I see some tech channels with this and links to the points in the video or a time to those points and it's always refreshing. Yea, I know it's more work but sometimes we gotta do a bit more to move the needle

[@certifiedcurls]

thanks. I appreciate the feedback

[@SolarTTauri]

Great insight.Thanks!

[@catc1208]

I’m currently looking into networking, completely lost lol I don’t know where to start!!! I’m glad I found your page! Your hair looks great btw 😍

Oh documentation, specifically the network diagrams. I'm slowing adding them on PRTG Maps so we have one central location to look at them and it's in real time. Moving away from the constant revisions of making diagrams on visio lol

[@Jay15523]

The camera quality is top tier 🔥

[@certifiedcurls]

thank you!!

[@kiyokumabear]

Honestly, none of this sounds terribly hard. Sounds like something I absolutely could do, so I'm glad I'm working on getting there now! I also like the idea of doing the same things everyday, believe it or not. Having something crazy come up at work is a little irritating, but getting paid to do something(s) that's second nature to me sounds really nice lol

[@Chillaxerist]

im help desk and i wanted to see if this is the career path i wanted! I was a network engineer in the military, seems very similar lol

[@yoopet]

Thanks for this great video! I just got laid off as a software engineer and am looking to switch my career into network engineering. I was wondering if you could provide any suggestions or turtorials to started with? Thank you and hope you are having a great day! :)

[@txnsionttv]

Hello hello! I know this video is a year old, but maybe I can still get a reply. I have been working as an IT Team Lead for Deskside for quite sometime and before that was a standard technician. I worked towards my Network+ but stopped after my management promotion. Now, with a baby on the way, I want to better financially and go back to my goal of going into Cloud Infrastructure. Although lately as I am only 23, I think becoming a Network Engineer would be a great step. My father is currently a Cloud Architect for Microsoft but has been a terrible communicator since I was little so I never hear from him. Anyways, looking through this video. Do you think using Udemy (which I get free courses through my current Employer) and self studying currently for my CCNA and CCNP is a good route to becoming a Network Engineer? What other certifications are good to enter into this current career path? Hope all is well! :) Your videos rock and love the personality! I currently work 100% remote as Deskside Manager, so good to hear that is a possibility to keep it that way!

[@KingMumbler]

Dang I know this video is 2 years old, but wondering as network engineer for a year now, what kind of things did you do in your early stages of engineering to get where you are now?

[@justins5195]

Hi, im a career shifter from zero background, do you think its worth it to apply for net engr apprenticeship or having self revew and pass ccna in order to get a job as net engr.?

[@kingslender1874]

I am trying to break in to the I.T. field and I will be going to school, either for 2 year associates degree or a certification. I have minimal, lower level data center experience (mainly hardware related). Would Network Engineer be a good choice? I am not really good at math and the thought of writing code seems beyond me. Not to minimize Network whatsoever. Thanks for making these videos.

[@dannyh1891]

Useful info, could you do a vid on the role of ai & if you see it as a threat in the networking field.

[@ivanbecerril4227]

Is it possible to go from a network technician to a network engineer with only an associate's degree and 3 years of working as a network technician?

[@user-rp8cm1qu6p]

Please tell me what's is your IT certificates you have

[@omotayojoshua4999]

Am starting my 1st job in a week and is a remote. I have to be in charge of the data center, configuration, maintenance and all day to day networking activities. I was told during the interview that the whole network was a mess. Not well configured and managed. Please how do I start, I feel you could be of help. Thank you

[@m_jo7167]

Hello Lise, I would like to know more regarding how you landed in this career. Regarding the first job, certification your pathway.

[@certifiedcurls]

I joined the military. That's how I got in the field so I didn't need to get cerifications

[@SagRising19]

Hi love your channel! I'm switching careers and just completed a security program, from a social work background with some tech experience.. I've been interested in Wifi Engineering and Network Engineering.. your video gave some good insight. What would be your suggestion, in piviting into network engineering for a newbie? Thanks

[@certifiedcurls]

The good thing about network engineer is that quote a few folks in here don't have very good soft skills and this job does require a fair amount of talking to people. I would for sure use your social work skill and how you can talk to people. It's always worked for me with getting roles.

[@SagRising19]

[@trayjobe6995]

Im a 19 year old computer technician finishing my degree in Computer Networking. I am currently studying for the CCNA. I am determined to pass it before I graduate and move to TX. I just love cisco equipment. I have yet to schedule the exam though. I still have my last 2 semesters of Netacad at college that I am going to use to practice before the exam. I'll be scared to take the test though honestly. It feels like alot of information. Im not necessarily a "noob" I have configured switches, routers, etc. I still always feel there is ALOT to learn. So my main focus these last couple months are studying for the CCNA. Really want it in the next 6 months before I job search in TX? You have any study tips or how you practiced the exam? I have been told to if I get it try for a noc position, or jr network admin or something similiar. I just want to hear some advice from you.

[@certifiedcurls]

A NOC is a good start position because it could be the easiest to start out with with minimal experience. Network techs, network admins, are many other starting out titles. Just apply for anything asking for 5yrs or less experience and just apply. Highlight your extra work, side work helping others, big labs, projects, ect. What soft skills you have will help as well. a

i'm 22 years old, haven't had any jobs in it before, i just finished my network engineer career in university, some people have told me that i should get a it support job first before networking or cybersecurity (what i like the most), should i do that? cuz for me the main problem is that where i live there are no networking engineer jobs that don't require at least 2 years of experience and ccna or ccnp certifications, i'm on my way of getting ccna but i don't have 2 years of working experience, i dunno what to do, i'm kinda scared of getting a job and not knowing how to work in it or in a networking enviroment lul

[@JJFlores197]

If you have the opportunity, go for an entry-level IT help desk/technician job. It may not be glamorous nor high paying nor the job you want, but its better than nothing and definitely a start. See if your local school districts have any openings. Its a good way to get into the IT field. I see it this way: If you want to work in cyber security or networking, that's great. However, I feel it is important to have a good, solid IT foundation before getting into those fields as they aren't exactly entry-level.
